The Alchemist in Bleach

"…I…sigh…never mind…" The Spirit King sighed deeply, trying to think positively. Even without this plan, Tenshin Ichiro had used it quite a bit already; he might as well get used to it…

Thinking of Tenshin Ichiro, a rare sense of admiration welled up in the Spirit King's heart. After getting rid of his status as a pawn by chance, he had relied on his own efforts to get to where he is today, allowing Yue Ling to truly complete her transformation and become the real Spirit King.

Create the Spirit King.......

Looking at Yue Ling standing below, the Spirit King smiled from the bottom of his heart. She was finally no longer alone...

"Do as you say. I won't interfere again until your plan fails, but if you really want to fight Yhwach with all your might, you'll need to put in a little more effort."

"Understood." Nodding, Yue Ling turned and left.

"Moon Spirit".

"Hmm?" Yue Ling stopped and turned to look at the Spirit King with a puzzled expression.

"If you have time, you can look up the concept of family affection in the modern world. Although you now have independent feelings, your understanding of emotions is still somewhat biased, especially towards your father. You are not like a child, but more like a subordinate. Over time, you may develop some rather absurd ideas for Tenshin Ichiro. In this regard, you can refer to the information from the Eastern Kingdom."

Yue Ling frowned. Although she still didn't quite understand what the Spirit King meant, she took his words to heart, nodded, and turned to leave the Spirit King's Palace.

Chapter 386 The Confused Yuha

As Yhwach approached the Seireitei - First Division, his brow furrowed. In his perception, all the Sternritter except Haschwalth and Lloyd had been wiped out, and even the pure-blooded Quincy who had come from the human world were rapidly disappearing.

Yhwach turned to look in the direction of his friend, who was just a minor character, and his brows furrowed even more. They hadn't even noticed such immense spiritual pressure before!

There are now more variables.

But it's not a big problem.

Yhwach withdrew his gaze, his mustache twitching confidently. He activated the Holy Order, forcibly "recalling" Hasward and Loynd, who had disappeared without a trace. Then, with a thought, he revived them. After a moment's thought, he also revived Nakruvar, preparing them to face his friend, who was on her way.

In terms of pure strength, there are several members of the Sternritter who are stronger than the two of them, but...

Those guys were strong because of their abilities, mainly because their abilities were unbeatable. But even with their unbeatable abilities, they were recently killed in single combat by that guy.

Against such a pure spiritual pressure opponent, World Harmony and Lethal Dose might have some surprising effects, perhaps.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Having absorbed Yamamoto Morihiro, he's very strong now!

They only need to hold off the extra's best friend for a while. Yamamoto is indeed very strong now, but that is also his greatest weakness. Too much power will destroy everything!

If he were to activate his omniscience and omnipotence, with his current power, dealing with a Yamamoto who wasn't using his full strength would be a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, the next second, he froze...

Six figures slowly emerged from the First Division: the Captain-Commander and the entire Zero Division!

What the hell? How did these two end up together? Weren't they supposed to have a terrible relationship? And what's the Zero Squad doing here instead of guarding the Reiwa Palace? And why is the whole squad here?

Yhwach had a bad feeling. Why would the Zero Division leave the Soul King Palace to fight?

Or all of them?

In fact, it wasn't just Yhwach who sensed something was wrong; the monks also felt something was amiss. Putting aside whether they would put aside their grudges to help the Seireitei defend against this attack, which was very likely a one-sided attack targeting the Seireitei or the Thirteen Divisions.

Even if they were incredibly magnanimous and came to help them defend, it's impossible for them to deploy their entire force!

Things are different now. The Seireitei has plenty of ways to infiltrate the Spirit King's palace. If the Spirit King's whereabouts were to be leaked, that would be a real disaster...

Unless he has dementia, there is absolutely no way he would bring everyone out with him.

However, an even more terrifying fact is now before us: he has led all the members of the Zero Division out of the Spirit King Palace!

He certainly couldn't have Alzheimer's disease.

So there's only one possibility: someone influenced his thinking—no, it's their thinking!

It made them overlook some things they shouldn't have overlooked!

For example, guarding the Spirit King's Palace...

However, to influence the thoughts of all five people simultaneously requires such power...

The monk had some guesses in his mind, but he dared not think about them further, because the outcome would be extremely cruel for him and for them...

But it's too late to go back now. The monk, who was skilled in the Transcendental Transformation, immediately saw the power of the Spirit King that was filling Yhwach's body. It was clear that the opponent would definitely attack the Spirit King's Palace, but it was uncertain when.

Therefore, instead of waiting for him to slowly devour souls and become stronger, it would be better to take this opportunity to join forces with Yamamoto and take down Yhwach together!

Yhwach's expression was somewhat solemn. He hesitated and glanced at Haschwalth and Nakruvar beside him, who had just been resurrected. In a one-on-one fight, whether it was Yamamoto or the monk, he was now 100% confident of winning. That's how confident he was—omniscient and omnipotent!

But one against two...

It's a bit risky. At this point, things might be a little better for San Beh Hasward and Nakruvar.

But Yhwach thought about it and realized that swallowing these two wouldn't increase his power much and wouldn't affect the overall situation. Besides, they could keep his friend in check while they were alive. So he waved his hand and told them to go and fight his friend, while he looked at the Captain-Commander opposite him who was slowly taking off his haori and blouse.

Although he was panicking inside, Yhwach remained calm on the surface: "Yamamoto, it's been a thousand years. You're stronger than before."

"Since you know that, why don't you obediently find a place to hide instead of coming out?" The captain-commander suddenly exerted force with his cane, and the wooden cane that was covering the Zanpakuto turned to ash again, revealing the Zanpakuto inside.

"Because you have exposed your greatest weakness, Yamamoto."

"呲~"

"Oh, your biggest weakness? Interesting." The Captain-Commander said as he slowly drew his Zanpakuto. "I'm quite curious to know what kind of weakness gives you such confidence."

"Your weakness is mercy!" While stalling for time, Yhwach secretly woven his self-aggrandizement, "You are indeed very powerful now, but do you still dare to use that power recklessly?"

Yoha's lips curled up slightly, seemingly showing disdain for the matter.

"Oh? Is this the powerful thing you're talking about?" The Captain-Commander picked up his Zanpakuto, lightly stroking the blade with his left hand, and wisps of smoke curled around the sword. "Bankai: Zanka no Tachi!"

"???!!!" Yhwach's eyes widened as he stared at the Captain-Commander in shock. He was all too familiar with the Zanka no Tachi. Although its power was much weaker, he would never forget the intense heat that burned everything!

He was certain that it was the Zankaku Katana!

but……

It was precisely because it was the Zankatana that he was shocked…

The Zanka no Tachi is extremely powerful. After being released, even if you do nothing and just hold it in your hand, it will slowly evaporate the moisture in the entire Soul Society. If you swing it, it will cause even greater damage.

But now that the Zanka Blade has been activated, you can't even feel a heat wave, let alone evaporate all the moisture in the Soul Society!

This means that Yamamoto may no longer have any scruples!

Not only was Yhwach shocked, but even the monk standing next to him was also shocked. Clearly, he was also unaware of this. After a moment of stunned silence, the monk immediately realized what had happened, and moved slightly away from the captain.

Although in a real fight, he and Yamamoto would probably be evenly matched, but at this distance, he could very well be instantly killed!

The destructive power of the Zanpakuto is way too much!

After moving a few steps, the monk also unleashed his True Strike: White Brush Ichimonji.

Seeing this, Yuha laughed. If there was some risk before, it was much safer now.

Yhwach's silver star emblem on his cloak flashed, and a strange wave swept over the Captain-Commander and the monk.

“It’s over!” Yhwach said confidently, looking at the captain and the monk.

Captain-General: ...

Monk:  …

Yuha: ...? ? ?

"Hehehehe~ Surprised? The progenitor of the Quincy~"

Just as Yhwach was wondering why the Star Seal hadn't worked and stolen the Bankai, a grotesque voice came from the corner, followed by a grotesque figure walking out.

Chapter 387 Captain: I've always been very good at judging people!

"Mayuri Kurotsuchi?"

"Oh my, it's a great honor that the founder of the Quincy actually recognizes me." Mayuri Kurotsuchi gave Yhwach a very affected bow, then raised the pistol-like device in his hand and said boastfully, "Secret Instrument No. 36 can nullify your Quincy Star Signs. At the same time, based on the principle of the Star Signs, I have deduced the ability factor of your usurpation of the altar. Under the influence of this device, your techniques can no longer be used."

Seeing Yhwach's expression turn somewhat unpleasant, Mayuri Kurotsuchi laughed triumphantly once again.

"Hehehe~ Besides that, there's something even more interesting. You guys should also experience what it's like to have your abilities taken away! (???)?"

With that, Mayuri turned the pistol-like instrument in his hand toward Hasward and Nakruvar, preparing to take away their sacred texts.

Unfortunately, as soon as he turned his gun around, he froze on the spot. Seeing him freeze, the Zero Squad members and Yhwach also looked in the same direction with confusion, and then froze as well.

Because the battle between Hasward and Nakruvar has ended...

It ended in their defeat...

In the short time it took them to say those few words, Hasward and Nakruvar had already fallen to the sword of their friend, and they were completely unaware of it!

The captain was somewhat shocked as he looked at his friend, who was standing with her sword in hand. Was this vice-captain, whose full name he often forgot, really this strong?

This realm, where one can stand right in front of you yet feel no spiritual pressure whatsoever, is exactly the same as described in the records!

Even with the strength of the Captain-Commander and the monk, they could only vaguely sense a bit of that bottomless spiritual pressure!

If they were like that, then Mayuri Kurotsuchi was even more clueless; he didn't even notice his supporting character's best friend's presence the entire time.

"How could you kill them all?!" Before Yhwach could react, Mayuri Kurotsuchi suddenly questioned him.

This drew strange looks from everyone. Why was this guy more concerned about them than Yhwach? Could it be that he had betrayed them?

"Can't we kill him?"

"Of course you can kill me, but you have to wait until I'm done testing! That would be such a waste! You...you're not afraid I'll surpass your feelings..."

"boom!"

Before Mayuri Kurotsuchi could finish speaking, a massive slash flew past him, shattering the wall behind him into pieces!

The extra's best friend held a knife in one hand, staring coldly at Mayuri Kurotsuchi: "Stop saying what you shouldn't say. If you dare to interfere with my affairs, the next strike won't miss!"

Can someone like Mayuri Kurotsuchi put up with this?

Hmm, he can...

Because her friend, who was just a minor character, had slightly reduced her spiritual pressure, a near-tangible pressure suddenly slammed into Mayuri Kurotsuchi!

The immense pressure made his bones creak; no matter how much he couldn't stand being treated unfairly, he had no choice but to endure it...
